True... however there's been some games recently that he's still tried to push without anybody warming (especially when starters still with only 70-80 pitches). Given Abreu's almost daily usage, I just figure he's always warming up... like Hulk is always angry... lol.
No he doesn't do this for every game or series win. These kinds of videos that he's doing, where he's popping off (not about what the Astros are doing but ripping the other team and gloating) are done against the Rangers, Seattle, the Yankees and the Dodgers. As I said previously when he popped off about Seattle, you can make these social media videos but you don't have to be a pr!ck about it. He is clueless what the word humble means and given this teams success over the past seven years he should know that this team doesn't gloat or beat their chest for regular season wins. This pr!ck does.
He still does them for most wins. This past month, his feed also has Oakland, Miami (x3), Toronto (x3), NY Mets (x2). He certainly may go harder on the rivals... but I figured everybody here had seen them before and gets the satire. Guess not... Like I said, they've been a fixture the last couple of years (at least via the gram).... and looks like its got more corporate sponsorship now (again, largely due to his connections as an employee of the flagship).
Nick good grief you have a need to be right on everything!!! Please show me one, just one video, where Clanton made this type of video against a win against the White Sox, the A's, the O's, the Angels etc etc? I'm talking about a video where he rips the opponent and gloats. Not a video just highlighting an Astros win or series win or how well they've doing over a period of time. I figured everybody here got what I was saying. Guess not...
Lol... its not new?!? Every video seems almost exactly the same. Start with a slow-mo/black and white or use footage or music that is relevant but somber... then it revs up to his choice of either metal rock or some nostalgic theme with the highlights... To me, it may come off as some fan-created videos... but its likely more a professional job/gig/"assignment" that has the backing of both his employers and the team they pay rights fees to cover, especially when there are now corporate sponsors.
Damn are some of you really getting your panties twisted when a fan who works for/with the Astros makes a video like that? Get off your fcking high horses, untwist that sht, and chill. Enjoy or not, you don't have to watch. Ridiculous
Well that video is certainly a dig so well played but it was more a dig on the stadium (but a dig nonetheless). I stand by my comments that the type of video/digs that I'm talking about are for the Rangers, Seattle, the Yankees and the Dodgers. He couldn't even wait until after the game Sunday night to see how this series plays out. The Dodgers could come back and win today and tomorrow and take the series, but this pompous pr!ck doesn't think about this stuff.
Last I checked this is a fan forum. It was just an observation. To use your logic are you going to "get your panties twisted" when a fan makes an observation like this?? Get off your high horse and chill.
I'm just taking it that you don't follow him on X or IG. Its still nearly every win, regardless of opponent. One of the baltimore ones below. Theres a video for every win against the Rockies of all teams (where he makes fun of John Denver and his death!, lol)... And again, now seems more of an "assignment" due to who he works for. Once you realize that, maybe it won't seem as 'personal' or a 'dick move' by him... but I get your point if somebody was just seeing this as a media 'fan' trying to drum up **** against rivals. but its very much orchestrated at this point.
Yes a little dig on the name of the Os but that video was basically all about what the Astros did which I have no problem with. And no I don't follow him on X. I just see the gloating ones posted in here again against Seattle, the Rangers, Yankees and Dodgers.
Really weird considering everyone in here has said stuff like **** the Dodgers, laughs at when the M’s struggle, etc. By their logic, we shouldn’t be happy and celebrate M’s and Rangers losses here because there’s a lot of season left and we might lose the division. Don’t understand why they are getting so triggered by those videos. Clearly they just don’t like the guy for whatever reason.
Got it. Schtick is schtick. He certainly does go harder against the rivals/bigger series and I can see why that would irritate you and others who aren't fatigued or conditioned to these. Then again, aren't these the series that we should get to be a little more vocal after wins? The rest of the baseball world still is intimidated by us, regardless of records or current WS odds. good time still never felt so good!
Good grief it's one thing to come on here and pop off about those teams and we should. It's an Astros fan forum for crying out loud. It's another thing for someone like this (in the media) to put out such a video like this. Maybe not in your mind but practically everyone I know thinks it's uncalled for and that he's a pompous jerk and it looks like there are quite a few people in here who agree with me as well. And if you don't that's your prerogative.
Really. Part of the fun of being a fan is talking sh*t to fans of other teams. It’s all in fun. Lighten up for goodness sake.
FEMA is being called in to assist and treat the outbreak of post-traumatic stress amongst the Dodgers players and their fans. Kershaw has gone critical.
It's interesting that, after that torrid Yankees start, they are only six wins better than we are. What happened?
